Robbery and Arson.

Speclal 10 the GLOBE.
LEWISTON, Mimi, Sept. 7.-Yester-
day about 5 p. m. one of the boldest
robberieS ever known was committed
in the town of Elba. N. Decker,
quite well-to-do farmer, sold one of his
farms some weeks ago receiving $1,000
for it, which he kept secreted in his
residence, thinking the banks unsafe.
About 4:30, Mr.. Decker being absent,
Mrs. Decker, went to a spring for
water, some ten minutes walk from the
dwelling, leaving six months old
child in the house. Upon returning,
when in sight of the dwelling, she dis
covered smoke issuing from the second
story window and entering found the
flames beyond control and the money
gone from its hiding place. She barely
escaped with the child. The building
and contents were all consumed, with
no insurance. Decker had been eau
toned about keeping so much money in
the house. There is no clue to the rob-

Reid's Duluth Record.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 7.-Hal Reid,
whose attack on young girl in West
st. Paul has been thoroughly aired
lately, was resident of Duluth for
short time last winter. He stopped at
the st. Louis hotel for few days, but
was fired out on account of nonpayment
of his bill. He removed to the Merchants
hotel and stopped there some little time,
trying to work some advertising scheme
on the merchants here. During the en-
gagement of Maud Granger and COM
pany one evening he inquired of the
clerk where the room of a certain female
member of the company was. The clerk
would not give the desired information,
and shortly afterward Reid was discovl,,
cred upstairs knocking at the door of.
the lady inquestion. Proprietor Butchart
fired him instantly, and he left the city.
in day or two. While here he repre-
sented to people that he was cousin of
Whitelaw Reid, of the New York Trib-
une.

rather heavy track, but to-day it is per

ably, owing to such large number of
horses being on the track. Two sulkies

of the Duluth, Huron & Denver Com

Surveyors started on the line northeast

Little Falls or Brainerd, but from the
direction taken it seems to be Brainerd.
The management here state that they

Rates on Soft Coal.

The Chicago & Northwestern on
Tuesday put in effect its new tariff on
soft coal, reducing the rate 40 cents per
ton from Spring Valley and Chicago to
all Wisconsin and Minnesota points.
Ihls rate was at once met by all COM
peting roads, who put in effect the same
rates from Hooking Valley and Indiana
coal mlneS-S1.35 per ton, Chicago to
st. Paul. The ultimatum of the Chi
cago & Northwestern is to make the
same rate from Spring Valley to St.
Paul as the proportion of the rate re-
celved by its competitors on coal from
Hooking Valley and Indiana mines.
That proportion is 95 cents per ton from
Chicago, and therefore if the North
western carries out its threat it will
have to reduce its regular rate from
Chicago to Spring Valley to 95 cents.
Chairman FaithOrn of the Western and
Northwestern Freight bureau has been
appointed a committee of one to see the
officials of the Chicago & Northwestern
with view of effecting compromise,
but thus far his efforts have not been sue
cessful. Yesterday the Milwaukee &
st. Paul also put in effect soft coal
tariff from Chicago and Milwaukee to all
points in Iowa, Minnesota aud Dakota.
The result of this last tariff is a slight
reduction to most places.
Work Stopped for the Season.
Mr.. j. j. Hill, of the Manitoba road, is
the authority for the statement that
work on the Duluth, Fergus Falls &
Southern road has been stopped for the
season. Mr.. Hill said: 1T is necessary
to stop work for the reason that he has
to complete the Minot extension to Great
Falls this season. That takes a great
many men. Again, the road has no ties
and no bridge lumber. 1t has 100, COO, 600
feet tied up along river and creeks
which the extreme drynesS of the sea-
son has rendered it impossible to get
out. Ii built this winter the road would
be run at loss during the first winter.
The road will be built next summer.
Our men will go ahead this winter, cut
out trees, clear out the brush and get
everything ready for the grading, and
just as soon as the frost is out of the
ground so that track laying can be done
the work will be hurried right along.
The road from Leech lake to the Aber-
deem branch will be ironed and COM
pleted next summer and regular trains
will be running over it before fall"
Mayor Austin, of Fergus Falls, in
speaking of the Importance of the road
from Leech lake to Aberdeen said:
''There are hundreds of millions of feet
of lumber that the road will reach that
can't be got out in any other way Why,
DOrrillus Morrison told me he alone had
millions of feet. T. B. Walker stands
ready, as soon as the road is built. to
put up two large saw-mills at Leech
lake that will have daily capacity of
125,000 feet. By this route the lumber
can be distributed to the points where
it is needed, all over the prairies and
along the Dakota plains, far cheaper
than by the old plan of floating logs
down to Minneapolis, cutting them and
shipping them from there. The fact is
out. at least as long as there is no more
water in the country than there is to
day."
